Real Life Bad Therapy Sessions That Were Very Memorable

I Couldn’t Believe My Eyes

I used to work as a Specialist Facilitator for a group of resource centers for people with profound disabilities, behavioral disorders, and mental health conditions. One early morning, my colleagues and I were setting up for the day when someone told us to come to the window quickly. 

I couldn’t believe my eyes…One of our older colleagues was swinging through the trees and making monkey noises directly outside the center. The center was on a regular domestic public street so we had loads of spectators. But it gets more embarrassing. 

The worst part was that her massive, unruly German Shepherd was running amok beneath her, barking at said spectators. Things came to a head when our colleague leapt on the roof of the center and started howling non-stop. My boss had to call the firefighters.

This woman then propositioned a male firefighter on the roof, and we ended up having to call animal control for the dog while one of our mental health teams helped our colleague. This was all before our service users arrived at the center. Story credit: Reddit / Blackcat1206
